I've heard of people doing this but idk if it has worked or if it is against there terms and conditions.

As far as mechanical turk, Are there any rules against paying people to fill out short forms/zip and email submits for incentivized offers?

Has anyone tried this on their site?

Has anyone had any sort of success or failure with this?

Any suggestions on sites I can use to solicit people to pay to fill out incentivized offers?

Most incentive offers won't allow you to pay people real currency to fill out offers. Some will allow you to pay virtual currency to fill out the offers though.

You will definitely only want to target incentive offers and you should clear it with the network before you do it.

Most incent offers/networks won't accept cash incentive, so this type of site wouldn't be accepted.

I see people using turk right and left to get people to fill in offers.
I have used it for other affiliate programs outside of the CPA realm. It's a pain to manage and most workers don't follow instructions very well, however if you are smart you can get a good return.

If you have a question like this, it's always a good idea to check with your AM.

For one, typically even incentivized offers frown upon any sort of cash compensation, which this clearly involves.

Secondly, mturk does not allow this, as you are not supposed to be getting any personal information from mturk workers, and since usually they are going to be putting it in their email address for things like this, that breaks the terms of mturk.
